Owner’s manual
Introduction Positioning Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic Energy AEGIS EVOLUTION Series — a range of powerful loudspeakers which feature metal diaphragm technology and are capable of outstanding performance. Please take a few moments to read this manual. The advice it contains will enable you to get the very best performance out of your Acoustic Energy loudspeakers.
Positioning Aegis Evo Three Please unpack your AEGIS EVO THREE carefully on a carpet or similar surface. Locate the plinths and fittings and, having carefully inverted the speaker, screw the plinth to the base of the cabinet using the screws and pilot holes provided. Please ensure that you have firmly screwed the plinth to the cabinet, failure to do this will degrade performance. There is a mass-loading compartment at the bottom of the cabinet.
Connections Conventional [or single wire] connection Normal passive wiring requires the supplied shorting links to be in place between the high and low frequency sections. The positive (ribbed) cable from the amplifier positive (or red) terminal should connect with the positive (red) terminal on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cable should connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminal (black) on the loudspeaker.
